Scope Note: Combustion is defined as the burning of a fuel and oxidant
to produce heat and/or work. It is the major energy release mechanism in the Earth
and key to humankind's existence. Combustion includes thermal, hydrodynamic, and
chemical processes. It starts with the mixing of fuel and oxidant, and sometimes
in the presence of other species or catalysts.Source: http://www.eoearth.org/article/Combustion
